Integrated High Performance Turbine Engine Technology (original) (raw)

The Integrated High Performance Turbine Engine Technology program was a project of the United States military. Its objective was to conduct science and technology research that would secure advancements in the engineering of the gas turbine engines used in military aircraft. It ran from 1987 until 2005. IHPTET designated goals in each of three engine classes: turbofan/turbojet, turboprop/turboshaft, and . For the turbofan class the primary goal was to double the engine thrust-to-weight ratio.
